Please do NOT visit this site on שַׁבָּת - Shabbat or on the מוֹעֲדִים - Mo’a’dim - Feasts!

Re Tanakh versions:

Throughout this site I may use any of three versions of the Tanakh: 1. “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2. “Mechon-Mamre.org” (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org” (SEF), three brilliant versions, However, the JPS-1917 is my preferred version!

Colour coded details of our beloved TaNaKh:

1. Torah = History & Law, 2. Nevi’im = The Prophets. 3. *Ketuvim = all other Writings.

*The Ketuvim - Includes, Poetical books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Megillot, or Scrolls - Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations of Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, prophecy of Daniel, and history of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles I & II.

Please Note: Some alterations or (additions) have been made relating to ‘Names’ and ‘Attributes’ of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim (God), having been corrected like it once was pre the “Masoretic Text”.

YYYYYYY

Remember the following truth from our beloved Torah!

“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM IT, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

 “Call Upon His Name”

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

Below the somewhat long Introduction, there are 21 powerful verses that go totally against our rabbinic man-made changes in our Tanakh. Do you believe the words of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, or whatever the rabbis say, if you chose the rabbis, well you are in deep trouble!

Sadly, due to certain priests and rabbis who just cannot help but keep changing the blessed Word of our beloved אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim. And thus, we are told that we should not use the Name of our Creator and thus they gave given us certain replacements. However, the blessed Name had been used forever until priests and rabbis decided to get rid of it. I have news for them and all of us, why are there countless verses in our Tanakh, that state the complete opposite what our rabbis forced us to do. Frankly it has much to do with certain evil words found in the 2nd century work, being the mystical ‘Zohar’, and then the ‘Zohar’ was placed in the already occultist ‘Kabbalah’ and that evil Zohar was even been included in sections of the Talmud! We are talking about three rabbinic - man created works!

I ask you, can the blessed word of the יְהוָה - the LORD, ever be wrong? Well our rabbis seem to think so, as they have removed the blessed Name from several Psalms, each Psalm has instead of יְהוָה in the Hebrew text, no they replaced it with אֱלֹהִים and ‘God’ in the English text. They did this 7 times in each of the following Psalms 53 and 56!

You might have noted the verse I have above in every single study; it reads: “Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM IT, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. 

Sadly our rabbis, with a few exceptions such as Maimonides, have done precisely that in our beloved Tanakh! Our so called sages were men who did their own thing, claiming it being scriptural. The only Scriptural book is the entire ‘Tanakh’, even though they changed sections of that as well, to suit their selfish human needs, becoming famous! Yes all for the wrong reasons, against the Word of אֱלֹהִים, בָּרוּךְ הוּא - “Blessed be He.

Below there are 21 powerful verses that goes totally against our rabbinic name changers. Do you believe אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, or those rabbis; now that is your choice! Make up your mind after you have read all these 21 verses from throughout the Torah/Tanakh!

In Conclusion:

Beloved, reading these passages with יְהוָה - LORD directly in mind, emphasizes the ‘covenantal authority’, ‘eternity’, and ‘mercy of our blessed Creator’ in every verse above! And note it very clearly states throughout all of these verses that we should “call upon His Name”, בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ - ‘Baruch Shem Kadosho’ - ‘Blessed be His Holy Name!’

May these verses above add inspiration and depth to your study and know that priests and rabbis of the past have erroneously removed the blessed Name of אֱלֹהִים. Having read all these powerful verses from the Torah and the rest of the Tanakh, it is obvious, that we should always “Call Him by His Name”, and not use insults like ‘HaShem’ meaning ‘the Name’ as well as אֲדֹנָי - ‘Adonai’, for these two are NOT a names, but an absolute insult unto our beloved אֱלֹהִים by our later day priests and rabbis of the past. Note: אֱלֹהִים is not a name, but an attribute, who and what our beloved creator is!

Why did יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ - the LORD our Eloheinu curse the priests and for that matter the rabbis? Let us read the fact of this statement.

1 “And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests. 2 If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My Name, saith the LORD of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it”. Malachi Chapter 2, verses 1 to 3. (JPS-1917 Version).

Beloved it is time that we all are told the truth by our beloved יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ - the LORD our Eloheinu, but sadly we have been listening to those rabbinic books, such as the very mystical ‘Zohar’ (from the 2nd century) which was much later added into that evil occultist ‘Kabbalah’ as well as the ‘Talmud’. Sadly our Jewish rabbis have tragically changed, so much, even in our blessed Scriptures. The only Scriptures of value in our beloved Hebraic - Israelite faith is of course the whole of our blessed Tanakh, all other writings, etc, are 100% man made and not in anyway from our Heavenly Father, בָּרוּךְ הוּא - Blessed be He!
